>> I asked you who might have the standing to punish any of the media via lawsuit. So I take it that you are now retracting your claim that the media will be punished. At all let alone harder. Not at all. I'm pointing out that Trump could have sued successfully almost any national media outlet with only the slight relaxation of the standards for such suits. Seems to me the Fox case, if Fox loses, will have created those standards. I'm not generally anti-media, but I believe what happened in the last 5 years was a travesty that begs for intervention. My belief has, forever, been that the First Amendment protections afforded the media should not be tinkered with. I believed that throughout his presidency. But my view has changed after last year and I believe the major media outlets should be harshly punished for what they did, essentially, encouraged what amounted to a coup. Call it what you will, but it ended in the installation of an illegitimate president. I can't help but think the Bill of Rights was never intended to allow/support this kind of activity.
